PHY 111 - Introduction to Mechanics
Description
An introduction to fundamental physical principles governing mechanics, including trajectories, forces, Newton’s Laws, mechanical energy and momentum, circular motion, thermodynamics, oscillations, and waves. Laboratory work involves scientific reasoning, mathematical models, and uncertainty analysis. These topics will be covered in more depth and with more mathematical sophistication than in PHY101. This course is designed for physical science students and forms the foundation for subsequent courses in the physics and astrophysics majors. Students cannot earn credit for both PHY 111 and PHY 101 , unless an exception is approved by the department chair. Offered every semester.
